Do I have to hand a PTAX-343-A form to every specialist I've ever seen, or just to my general practitioner doctor?

I turned 65 Dec.2023 it is now May 2024 can I apply for the senior exemption and senior freeze?

Something interesting was mentioned.
A veteran who is 70-100% disabled may receive a full tax exemption on property so long as the home is not worth 800,000 USD?
Can you please clarify this statement?
The website say the threshold is a 250,000$ EVA not 800k value.

Hi Hector/Team
Thank you for the video , I have a question please, So I applied for a mortgage back on 2021 and I bought a condo on March of that year and I didn’t apply for the homeowner exemption because I didn’t know it existed ,
So I started to pay the mortgage around $400 every month during 2021-2022-2023 until 9 days ago I received a letter from the mortgage bank saying the monthly payment will go up to a $1050 every month and I have a deficit in the escrow by negative - $4500 , I saw the breakdown of the monthly payments and I saw the property tax is very high , so the question is what to do to solve this problem ? I want to take the property tax down ? Also can I apply asking for a credit back for the years 2022-2023 ?

I overcharged on my property taxes and trying to get it corrected since January. The commissioner 's office still owes me one thousand six hundred and ninety dollars. The office admitted it was their fault but will not give me back the money. Who can help me?
